Made in the USA

Weight, strength and corrosion resistance are common requirements in these industries and Rigidized® Metals panels meet the requirements and exceed expectations. Rigidized® Metals skins reduce weight while maintaining dent and scuff resistance. The textured surface also diffuses light to reduce glare on these bright metal surfaces.

Using Rigidized® Metals skins with an aluminum honeycomb core creates an extremely strong but lightweight panel. Mechanical section properties can be controlled with both skin gauge and core thickness.

engine rooms

Rigidized® Metals' stainless steel tread plate patterns are ideal for engine rooms. Stainless steel is easy to clean and maintain, and the texture diffuses light, reducing glare, and provides slip resistance, making the area safer, overall. Additionally, the deep texturing process at Rigidized Metals Corporation creates a hollow-back tread plate, resulting in a product that is 15% lighter than conventional flat-back tread plate.

Our tread plate patterns are available in 2B, #4 and #8 finishes. Learn more about our tread plate patterns, here.

Achieving Excellent Acoustical Performance in Metal

Marine Acoustics

Rigidized® Metals has tested patterns 6WL® and 1RL on perforated stainless steel with both 1/2" and 1" deep acoustic insulation.
We can offer both sheet goods for customer fabrication or assist in creating custom products to customer specifications.
The illustration above suggests a construction of a panel using a honeycomb IMO certified construction as a base to the acoustic insulation and deep textured perforated stainless steel cover.
